Fri Nov 15 11:37:38 UTC 2024: ## Jake Paul “Numb” After Tyson Withdrawal, Controversial Fight Set for November
**Dallas, Texas** – YouTube star and boxer Jake Paul has revealed his initial reaction to Mike Tyson’s withdrawal from their highly anticipated fight earlier this year, stating he felt “numb” after the news broke. The controversial bout is now scheduled for November 15th at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas.
Paul, who holds a 10-1 professional boxing record, was initially set to face Tyson in July, but the former heavyweight champion pulled out after suffering a health scare in May. The 58-year-old Tyson experienced an ulcer flare-up on a flight, leading to the postponement.
In a new Netflix documentary “Countdown: Paul vs Tyson”, which will be released next week, Paul details his shock at the news: “When I received the news that he was out and not able to fight, I was just numb. It threw a wrench in my schedule, there was nothing I could do.”
Despite Tyson’s withdrawal, Paul remains excited about the opportunity to fight one of the most iconic boxers in history. “Nobody can tell Mike Tyson what to do,” he stated in the documentary. “This is the opportunity of a lifetime to fight one of the two most famous boxers to ever live.”
The highly anticipated fight will be an officially sanctioned pro bout, with eight two-minute rounds and knockouts allowed. While Tyson last fought professionally in 2005, his clash with Paul promises to be a spectacle for boxing fans worldwide.
Paul’s last fight saw him knock out former UFC fighter Mike Perry in the sixth round. His record includes victories over other notable fighters including Nate Diaz, Ben Askren, and Anderson Silva. However, he suffered a loss to Tommy Fury earlier this year.
The Paul vs. Tyson bout is expected to be a major event, with the Netflix documentary providing a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the lead-up to the fight.
